I know that this is a 'how long is a piece of string' question but we will be traveling through the west and centre for a few months and running a 40 litre engel off a deep cycle battery. Because we have young kids we won't be doing super long days, in fact in the Pilbara and Kimberley we will often stop for a few days then drive about 4 hours to our next stop for another few days. I know from previous experience that the battery will happily run the fridge for 5 days if we are careful, but I am concerned that we will not be driving for long enough to fully recharge the battery. So, any thoughts on whether I should also invest in a folding solar panel or am I being overly cautious? The Minister for finance won't be happy if we need the panel but I can hide it in the back until we reach our first campsite.
Cheers
